Summary of the contracting process

Truro City Council has completed the procurement process for the Boscawen Park sports pitch project. The project, aimed at developing a high-quality sports pitch, was awarded to the supplier Inscape, who has been appointed under a Minor Works JCT contract to serve as the Principal Contractor. This open procurement, marked as below threshold and conducted through open competition, was finalised with the contract signing on 8th September 2025. The construction falls under the category of construction work, and it is located in the UKK3 region of the United Kingdom. The contract is set to address community enjoyment and long-term usage with innovative and sustainable approaches, including mechanical mowing and precise drainage system installation.

This project opens numerous opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction industry, especially those with expertise in landscape development and sustainable practices. Companies with experience in professional turf management and drainage installation could particularly benefit from similar future tenders. The project's emphasis on sustainability and community-centric design aligns with current trends in public procurement, offering businesses the chance to showcase their capabilities in environmentally conscious construction methods.

Notice Title

Boscawen Park - Sport Pitch

Notice Description

The Boscawen Park sports pitch project aims to create a high-quality playing surface that supports long-term use and community enjoyment. The successful tenderer will be appointed under a Minor works JCT contract (lump sum) acting as the Principal Contractor. Initial site preparation focuses on clearing and stabilising the area, with attention given to removing debris and managing existing vegetation in a low-impact way. Rather than relying on chemical treatments, the project adopts a more environmentally conscious approach to vegetation control-shifting to mechanical mowing to manage plant growth. This not only supports soil health but also reflects a broader commitment to sustainable land management. To ensure the field performs well under various weather conditions, a new drainage system will be installed with precision methods that enhance long-term resilience and ease of maintenance. Existing infrastructure within the site, such as water lines and outfall pipes, will be carefully handled to either integrate or safely remove them, protecting nearby features like the cricket square and public footpaths. Following installation, the field will be restored with high-quality rootzone material and carefully seeded and fertilised to support healthy turf development. Special attention is paid to finishing details, such as the inclusion of flood flaps and maintenance access points, which help ensure safety and durability over time.
